“One of the ways that physicians can measure the function of the autonomic nervous system is by what we term “heart rate variability.” A person’s heart rate variability is the measure of the beat-to-beat changes in the heart rate as the heart speeds up and slows down in different patterns. Heartbeat changes are especially influenced by a person’s emotions and attitudes. Thoughts, perceptions, and reactions can greatly affect heart rhythms, and heart rate variability is a good measure of the impact that various emotions have on the body. Appreciation, joy, and love create a coherent spectrum on the heart rate variability EKG tracing.”

“An intentional offense is when someone maliciously hurts you, slanders you, or gossips about you willfully. The person’s intent is to cause emotional or physical injury. Very often the offenses are verbal. James 1:19–20 admonishes us, “My beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” Don’t allow an offense against you to trigger anger or retaliation. The truth is, in nearly all cases, that willful acts of offense come back to harm the offender, not the person who is intentionally wronged.”
